Calling all homeschoolers! Dive into an exciting SciTech Afternoon featuring three dynamic classes tailored to three different age groups—each exploring the fascinating world of Circuits & Codes!

Homeschool: Buddies (Ages 3-6)
Join us for an electrifying workshop all about circuits and coding! In this hands-on class, preschoolers will become “Little Engineers” as they explore how lights turn on, how simple switches work, and how color codes can help tiny robots follow paths. Through playful tinkering, simple science activities, and creative problem-solving, kids will experiment with light-up circuits, patterns, and early coding concepts. We’ll build, explore, and discover how our ideas can make things move, light up, and react—sparking curiosity and excitement for STEM!

Homeschool: Explorers (Ages 7-11)
Jump into the exciting world of circuits and coding in this hands-on workshop for ages 7–11! Kids will build their own simple circuits with LEDs, switches, and other fun components, then learn how to make them work using basic coding concepts. Through playful experimentation and problem-solving, participants will discover how electricity flows, how commands control devices, and how small changes can make big differences. With plenty of chances to test, tinker, and bring their ideas to life, this workshop sparks creativity, curiosity, and confidence in STEM!

Homeschool: The Lab (Ages 12-18)
Dive into the world of circuits and coding in this hands-on lab activity! Participants will explore how electricity and programming can bring ideas to life by building and testing their own circuits using LEDs, switches, and simple coding tools. This activity introduces key concepts like current flow, logic sequences, and problem-solving through trial and iteration. Students will experiment, troubleshoot, and innovate while learning how coding and electronics work together to power projects—from glowing designs to moving components—sparking curiosity about how technology shapes the world around us.
